SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent Nb. 650,319, dated May 22, 1900.

Application filed December 23, 1899. Serial No. 741,435. (No model.)

To all 10.71.0121. it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALLEN P. I'IARLAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Florence, in the county of Lauderdale and State of Alabama, have invented a new and useful Felly-Sawing Machine, of which the followin g is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in felly-sawing machines.

One object of the present invention is to improve the construction of felly-sawing machines and to provide a simple and comparatively-inexpensive machine adapted to increase the output of fellies and correspondingly reduce the cost of their production.

A further object of the invention is to provide a rotary table having a plurality of sections or carriages adapted to support the material to be sawed and capable of ready adjustment to carry the blocks or planks or other material in a circle ofthe desired radius.

A further object of the invention is to enable the saws to be readily adjusted to and from each other to vary the width of the fel` lies and to enable the rotary table to be easily adjusted to and from the saws to center it with relation to the same. l

Another object of the invention is to provide simple and efficient means for clamping the material on the carriages or sections of the table and for automatically releasing the fellies and removing the same from the table after the operation of sawing has been 'completed.

Furthermore, the invention has for its object to provide a machine of this character which will permit the various adjustments without changing the relation of the gearing for communicating motion to the rotary table and to enable such gearing to be adj usted to vary the speed of the said table.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims vhereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation Aof a telly-sawing machine constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view. Fig. 4t is a detail sectional view taken transversely of the lower portion of the frame and illustrating the construction for supporting the vertical shaft; Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the weighted dogs and the means for tripping the same.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

l designates an inclined saw-arbor adjustably supported by inner and outer shafthangers 2 and 3, mounted on upright portions 4 and 5 of a main frame 6, and the said hangers or supports 2 and 3 are composed of upper and lower sections 7 and 8, the upper sections of the hangers or supports being forked or bifurcated for the reception of journal-boxes 9 and 10, in which the saw-arbor is j ournaled. The journal-boxes 9 and 10 are pivotally mounted in the forks or bifurcations of the upper sections of the hangers or supports, which are independently ad- ,j ustable to change the inclination of the sawarbor and arrange saws 1l and 12 in the desired'position, so that their cuts or kerfs will be at right angles to the planes of the upper and lower faces of the material. Each upper section 7 is provided with an interi'orlythreaded socket 13, receiving au adjustingscrew ligand arranged in a tubular guide l5 of the lower section' 8, which is forked, as indicated in Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings. The Vadjusting-screw 14, which is provided at itslower end with a polygonal head, passes through an opening of the bottom of the tubularportion or guide of the lower section S of the bearing or hanger and eX- tends into the threaded socket or opening of the upper section. The weight of the shaft and the upper sections of the hangers or bearings holds the screw against the supporting-frame, and it will be apparent that by rotating the said adjusting-screws the saw arbor or shaft 1 may be raised'or lowered. The uprights et and 5 of the main frame extend across the same and are provided at their tops with horizontal flanges or ledges for supporting the adjustable hangers or bearings of the saw arbor or shaft. The saw arbor or shaft has keyed or otherwise secured to it at a point between its ends a pulley 16, designed to receive a belt, by means of which the saws 11 and 12 are actuated.

IOO

. proper curvature to correspond to the curved inner and outer faces of the fellies, and they are spaced from each other and from the journal-box 10 by means of collars 18 and 19. the collar 19,which is interposed between the saws, is loosely arranged on the shaft and is adapted to be taken off and replaced by another to vary the distance between the said saws for cutting fellies of different widths. The saws and the collar 19 are clamped on the shaft by means of an outer collar 20, interiorly threaded and engaging the threaded end 21 of the shaft, and by this construction the pull on the edges of the saws incident to cutting will tend to tighten or screw up the collar 2O on the shaft and clamp both saws. By removing the clamping-collar the saws and the spacing sleeve or collar 19 may be readily taken from the shaft or arbor 1.

The material is fed tothe saws by a rotary table 22, composed of a plurality of sections or carriages 23, which are adj ustably mounted on arms 24 of a spider or frame 25 of a vertical shaft 26, and which may be moved inward and outward on the said 'arms to carry the material in a circle of the desired radius. The carriages or sections of the table, which are adjustable radially or longitudinally of the supporting-arms, lnay be secured in such adjustment by bolts or any other suitable fastening devices. The said sections or carriages are composed of stems orradial portions and curved outer or circumferential portions,which are provided at theirends with substan tially L.shaped brackets 27, extending upward and outward from the table and provided at the outer ends of their upper horizontal portions with slots 28, receiving the upper ends of rods or stems 29, of a curved felly-s'upport 30, arranged concentric with and spaced from the curved portion of the adjacent section or carriage and adapted to pass through the intervening space between the saws 1l and 12. The rods or stems 29, which are secured at their lower ends to the curved felly-support, have their upper ends reduced and threaded and passed through the slot-s of the horizontal upper portion or arms of the L-shaped brackets, and

Athe said threaded upper ends, which are adjustable in the slots 28, are secured at any desired adjustment by means of nuts 31, arranged at the upper faces of the brackets. A washer is preferably interposed between each of the nuts and the bracket, and by screwing the nut upon the threaded end of the rod or stem the shoulder formed by reducing the latter is brought firmly against the The collar 18 is fixed to the shaft, andl lower face of the horizontal arm of the bracket. `By moving the curved felly-support inward and outward it may be readily adjusted to correspond to the position of the eircularsaws.

One of the brackets of each section orcarriage of the rotary table is provided with a clip 32, preferably secured to the upper portion of the stem or rod 29, and composed of two sides forming a bearing for an approximately L-shaped dog 33, having its short arm curved and provided at the outer end of its long arm with a weight 34. The short arm, which has a curved periphery or engaging face, is preferably provided with teeth and is arranged to swing downward toward the table to clamp the material. The dog is held in engagement with the material by means of the weight 34, and when in such engagement its weighted arm is disposed at a slight inclination and is adapted, after the operation of sawing has been completed, to be carried by the further rotation of the table into engagement with a tripping device 35, whereby it will be thrown backward out-of engagement with the felly and into the position illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 5 of the accompanying drawings, whereby the felly is released and is adapted to be swept from the support by a brush 3G, arranged in its path, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings. The tripping device 35 consists of a horizontal arm extending from a vertical portion of a supplemental frame 37, mounted on the main frame and arranged as hereinafter explained. The brush, which is preferably composed of wire, is provided with a shank extending upward from a horizontal portion or arm 38 of the supplemental frame, and arranged in the path of the felly and extending through the space between the felly-support and the vsection or carriage of the rotary table when itis adjacent to those parts, but it maybe arranged in any other suitable manner, as will be readily apparent. The arrangement illustrated in the accompanying drawings is preferable for the reason that the brush is adapted to throw the felly outward beyond the machine. ically tripped, it will remain out of engagement until it is engaged with another piece of material by the operator. The number of sections of the rotary table and the felly-snpports `may be varied and fellies of the desired length may be'accurately sawed, as will be readily understood.

The Vertical shaft 26 is journaled in upper and lower bearings 39 and 40 of a movable frame or casing 41 and its lower end is stepped in an adjustable bearing or socket 42. The

movable frame or casing 41, which may be of any desired construction, is preferably composed of two rectangular sides constructed of angle-iron castings and connected by upper and lower spiders 43 andA 44, the upper and lower bearings 39 and 40 being arranged at IOO IIO

When the weighted dog is automatand formed by the centers of the spiders 43 and 44. The adjustable bottom bearing 42 consists of a socket arranged at the center of a transverse lever 45, provided with a depressed or downwardly-odset intermediate portion and having one end 46 fulcrumed on the frame or casing and its other end 47 is provided with a threaded perforation receiving an adjusting-screw 48. The adjustingscrew 48, which is provided at its upper end with a hand-wheel, has its lower end engaging the bottom flange or portion of the adjustable frame or casing, whereby when it is rotated it is adapted to raise and lower the bearing or socket. The bearing or socket is adjustable to regulate the frictional engagement between a horizon talf riction-disk 49 and a vertical friction-wheel 50. The horizontal friction-disk 49, which is fixed to the vertical shaft 26, extends over a friction-wheel 50, which is fixed to a horizontal shaft 51, pro` vided with a longitudinal groove 52 and slidingly mounted in suitable bearings of the uprights 4 and 5 ofthe main frame. The frietion-wheel 50 is arranged between a pair of collars 53, which are engaged by the arms of a fork 54, loosely mounted on the longitudinal shaft, and the latter is arranged in journal-boxes 54, 55, and 56 of the uprights and the movable frame or casing, the bearing or journal box 56 being mounted upon a transverse angle-bar 57, which is secured to the sides of the movable frame or casing. A pulley 58, which is arranged on the horizontal shaft, is provided with a key or feather' to engage the groove thereof, and it is spaced from the bearing 55 by the sleeve 59, which prevents the pulley 58 from changing its position when the shaft 5l is moved longitudinally by the means hereinafter described. This pulley 5S is adapted to receive a belt, and when it is rotated it communicates motion through the frictional gearing to the vertical shaft. The fork 54 is mounted on a transverse rock-shaft 60, journaled in suitable bearings of the sides of the frame and having an operating-lever 6l fixed to its outer end, as clearly illustrated in Fig. l of the accompanying drawings. The operating -lever moves over a curved plate or ratchet 62, which is provided with openings for the reception of a pin 63, that secures the operating-lever atanydesired adjustment; butanyothersuitable-locking device may be provided to accomplish this result. This mechanism retains the frictional wheel 50 in proper position with relation to the horizontal friction-disk and prevents it from changing such position when the casing or movable frame is adjusted by means hereinafter described. The operatinglever is also adapted to be adjusted for moving the friction-wheel 5() and the sliding shaft to arrange the former at different points between the center-and periphery of the frictiondisk, whereby the speed of the vertical shaft and the rot-ary table is controlled.

The supporting or main frame is provided with a base or bed plate having inwardlyextending flanges 64, forming guides or ways for the removable frame or casing. The adjustment of the movable frame or casing is eected by means of a horizontal screw 65, mounted in an arm 66 of the base of the main frame and engaging a nut 67 of the outer or rear end of the movable frame or casing. The adjusting-screw is provided at its outer end with ahand-wheel, by means of which it is readily rotated to slide the movable frame or easing inward or outward. The casing or movable frame is clamped at ythe desired adjustment by means of bolts 68, connected attheir lower ends with the main frame and provided at their upper ends with nuts which engage a transverse bar 69 and hold the latter firmly against the upper edges of the bottom portion of the sides of the movable frameor casing, the bar 69 being provided at its ends with depending lugs or flanges to prevent it from moving longitudiually out of engagement with the movable frame or casing. When the movable frame or casing'is adjusted longitudinally of the main or supporting frame, it carries with it the friction-wheel 50 and the sliding shaft 5l. The movable frame is adjustable to bring the center of revolution of the carriages in the center of the circle to be sawed, and when it is desired to change the machine to-saw fellies of a differentcurvature the adjustable frame is moved backward or forward on the base and the carriages or sections 23 are moved inward or outward on the arms of the vertical shaft 26. The movement of the adjustable frame or casing will change the radius as desired, and the movement of t-he sections or carriages 23 will bring them into proper relation with the saws.

The supplemental supporting frame 37, which may be constructed of any suitable material, either tubular metal, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, or solid metal, is composed of a pair of standards 70, secured at their lower ends to the base or bed plate of the main or supporting frame at a point between the movable frame or casing and the inner or higher upright 5, and connected by a transverse rod arranged near the upper ends of the side standards 70. One of the standards is provided with a casing 7l and supports a roller or wheel 72, which is arranged in the path of the felly-supports and is adapted to receive the same at the point where the material is engaged by the saws, whereby the table is relieved of the down thrust of the latter. The bracket or casing 71 may be of any desired construction and the other standard of the frame 37 supports the tripping device and the brush, as before explained.r

The shank of the brush 36 is provided withv a ho ri zontally-disposed transversely-arranged arm 73, passing through an opening or socket formed by a T-coupling 74 of t-he adjacent horizontal portion of the supplemental frame,

and the transverse arm 73 is capable of longi- IIO IZO

tudinal movement and is' adapted to be ro- V ltated to arrange the brush in the proper p0- sition to agree with the adjustment'of the sections or carriages of the rotary table. The brush is secured at the desired adjustment by means of a clamping-screw 75, mounted on the socket or coupling 74 and engaging the horizontal arm or portion of the shank of the brush. Instead of constructing the brush and its support in this manner, it may be made of any other suitable material as will be readily understood. This transverse adjustment, together with the oscillatory movement of the brush, enables the latter to be readily arranged to suit the adjustment of the table.

It will be seen that the telly-sawing machine is exceedingly simple and inexpensive in construction, that the saw arbor or shaft is capable of ready adjustment to arrange it at the proper inclination to suit the curve of the saws employed, and' that the latter may be readily arranged in proper position with relation to the work to be operated on. The saws are adjustable and removable, and by means of the spacing sleeve or collar and the clamping-collar they may be arranged the desired distance apart to saw a felly of the proper width. The rotary table is composed of radially-adjustable sections or carriages which are adapted to be readily set to carry the material in'a curved path ot' the desired radius. The material is iirmly clamped on the table by the weighted dogs or levers, which, after the operation of sawing has been completed, are automatically tripped to release the fellies and enable the same to be swept from the machine by the brush.

Another advantage of the invention is that the weight of the shaft and the table holds the horizontal friction-disk in frictional engagement with the friction-wheel of the horizontal shaft and that such frictional engagement maybe readily regulated by the adjustable bottom bearing or socket of the vertical shaft. Also the rotary table is carried by a movable frame or casing, which may be adjusted to center the shaft with relation to the saw without affecting the positions of the frictional gears with relation to each other and that such relation may be readily changed when itis desired to change the speed of the vertical shaft. Changes in the form, proportion, size, and the minor details of construction within the scope of the appended claims may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
